UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

On the contrary, I do not have high hopes for Real Madrid this season in the UCL. Because gradually with the quality of the current squad is not enough to show Madrid go further. Benfica chances of eliminating Real Madrid are quite high and I can't deny that Benfica play as a unit that has a clear vision, while Madrid players are still in a phase of self discovery as a big club, club management is increasingly losing confidence and players are losing chemistry.

Arbeloa has very little experience. It is very difficult to manage a squad like madrid. It is not possible if the manager  is not experienced. Even then, it is not that madrid is doing very badly. Their overall condition is still quite  good. But it is very difficult to survive in the champions league with such performances.

I do not know if madrid is lucky or unlucky to face benfica in the playoffs. Madrid lost badly against Benfica in the last  match of the first round. They are going  to face Mourinho's team again. Now it will be difficult for Madrid to qualify for the round of 16.

I would not be surprised at all if Madrid stumbles again against Benfica. It is possible. Because both madrid's defense and attack have become quite weak. I doubt whether arbeloa can put up a strong resistance against mourinho's tactics.

It is a great record for the league phase, but it will only be of value if they reach the final. Otherwise nobody will be talking about it rather sooner than later. The most important games they won were against Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid and I think those are the games that have the strongest predictive value. When it was still the old format, it could happen that there was one huge team and then three weak teams and it didn't mean much to win all games in the group stage, but I think now it is noteworthy.

Arsenal are not only undefeated, but they always win every game they play,  and I think this is indeed a remarkable achievement. However, the story is not  over yet, because after this, not only will their performance be tested, but so will their mentality. I am sure  Arsenal has big ambitions this season because it has been so long since they won a trophy, but it will certainly not be easy, as the other big teams will be trying their hardest.

We all know that what always causes Arsenal to fail is their loss of consistency,  and they seem to face the same story every season. So, I'm quite curious to see whether  Arsenal will have another strategy to maintain their consistency towards the end of the season.

But this is what the big games are for, it is always a mentality game at the end of the day. They have now won an important game in the PL when City and Aston Villa didn't win. That was urgently needed after going three games without winning.

Now I can't wait for the CL to continue, but it will be the same for all the good teams. There is no free lunch and minor things will decide.

The chances of becoming champion may be small, but the chances of advancing to the next phase are quite large. It's quite favorable for Madrid, as they will play at Benfica for the playoff. Next, in the second leg, they will be at home. It might just be a bad piece of history since they have to go through the playoff phase. The fortunate thing is they have the opportunity for a rematch against Benfica, who caused them to lose and fail to advance directly to the knockout stage. But whether they can do it, of course, their big hope is to win. Although, indeed, Madrid is currently not in ideal condition.

On a norm non of this teams can withstand Arsenal's pressure I'm not really capping it's a fact and with this I actually see Arsenal moving to the next round of the competition, I know it's not really an easy task but deep down this teams are no worries for the Gunners maybe if after this round whom they will meet again might determine if the can still remain in the competition or not but for the main time who ever they meet here is a straight up winning for them, and non of them can stop Mikel Arteta on this one, and before you know it they might still meet an easy side again in the next round.
